Don't call me a singing god, I just want to go back to doing scientific research.

"Yes—!" The contestants and the audience shouted in unison, showing great cooperation.

This is a basic professional quality for entertainers; they can't let the host's words fall flat.

"Okay, let's announce the results directly... Before that, we'd like to thank our exclusive title sponsor, Tomato Novel Network, as well as Fruit TV and Junshan Mineral Water for their generous support..."

A chorus of good-natured boos immediately erupted from the audience.

"Terrible review! I'll publish it directly!"

"Haha, okay!" The host stopped teasing them and said, "Everyone, please look at the big screen!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a bar chart corresponding to the thirty names suddenly popped up on the large screen behind the stage.

No suspense.

It could even be said that there was no suspense whatsoever.

A deep blue pillar, with an unreasonable posture, pierced the sky, making the other twenty-nine pillars look like weeds on the horizon.

At the top of that pillar, a line of numbers was clearly displayed.

First place, Gu Yang: 934 votes.

Second place: Xu Yuxuan, 749 votes

Third place: Zhao Sicong, 737 votes

......

Fourteenth place: Feng Yuxi, 669 votes

Gu Yang carefully hid behind and breathed a sigh of relief.

God knows how much pressure he was under when singing this song.

This is Ling Luo's first song. If Ling Luo messes it up, he'll want to slap himself without Ling Luo even lifting a finger.

Fortunately, it was successful.

After thinking it over, Gu Yang smiled foolishly and thanked him, then pinched his earlobe in Ling Luo's direction.

See? I'm still pretty good.

  

Ling Luo raised an eyebrow. Why did he feel like this kid was provoking him?

However! You did a great job this time, the next song will be a bit more challenging.

After thinking it over, Ling Luo's lips curled into a meaningful smile, which made Gu Yang, who had been watching Ling Luo out of the corner of his eye, shiver involuntarily.

The show hadn't even ended yet, but it was already trending on social media.

#Zhuo Tongyu actually said he wanted to see him!#

#National Popular Goddess Ni Yuelan Loses Composure on Set!#

#A Story of Long-Awaited Reunion#

It has to be said that these marketing accounts are all incredibly good at coming up with headlines.

Just by looking at these few words, you have no idea what happened.

However, the presence of singer Zhuo Tongyu and goddess Ni Yuelan in the title drew countless curious passersby to click on it.

The comment section instantly exploded.

[Holy crap, I thought it was some huge scandal, but it turns out it's just promoting a talent show contestant's song?]

[Seriously? Are entertainment companies really this blatant about marketing these days? It's disgusting!]

[Seeing is believing, hearing is believing. I'll go listen to it first; if it's not as amazing as the blogger claims, I'll report it immediately!]

[Upstairs, are you sure it's "seeing is believing"? Your Chinese teacher is crying in the bathroom.]

The influx of people through trending topics is growing at an alarming rate.

The song "Long Time No See" skyrocketed on NetEase Cloud Music's new song chart, soaring from outside the top 100 and quickly securing a place on the chart.

It's important to know that the new song chart only displays the top 100 songs.

The comments under the trending topic also quickly shifted from initial skepticism.

[Holy crap! I'm getting goosebumps all over! This is exactly the scene from my dream where I reunited with my ex-girlfriend! Gu Yang, I asked you to sing, not to install surveillance cameras in my dream!]

[Waaaaah, I cried. I don't even know why I'm crying, but I just want to cry.]

All I can say is that understanding is an experience, not understanding is a blessing. I hope none of you understand.

[I'm not going to say anything more. This guy's name is Gu Yang, right? Followed!]

[Has anyone else been like me, trying to find the creator named "Luomu" but unable to find them anywhere on the internet?]

[Sister upstairs, you're not alone! There's another homeless baby here, please help! o(╥﹏╥)o]

Meanwhile, at the Star Entertainment Building, the public relations department kept a close eye on the artists who were making announcements.

Yang's outstanding performance immediately caught their attention.

When he saw Gu Yang's final votes surge to 934, Xiao Wang from the public relations department flicked the mouse and, regardless of whether it broke or not, sprinted back to the office.

"Wu Wu, Manager Wu, 'Sing, Youth,' Gu Yang, Gu Yang is a hit."

Wu Qichuan thought he was hallucinating and asked incredulously, "What exploded?"

"It's Gu Yang, an artist from our company who participated in 'Sing! Youth'. He became a sensation with his song 'Long Time No See'."

Xiao Wang immediately pulled out his phone, quickly opened it, and shoved it in front of Wu Qichuan: "Manager Wu, look, all the trending topics right now are about him."

Wu Qichuan's eyes widened in surprise. After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, he immediately made a call to Li's agent's phone.

"Xiao Li, you know the musician who wrote the song for Gu Yang, right?"

"Manager Wu? I met him once, he's a very..."

Before Li's agent could finish speaking, Wu Qichuan interrupted him, excitedly ordering, "Xiao Li, I don't care what method you use, sign this person named Luo Mu to the company."

"...Manager Wu, I'm afraid that's difficult," Agent Li said directly. "I've met this person; he's very talented, but he doesn't seem very interested in the entertainment industry. I think it would be better to cooperate with him rather than sign him."

Although he had only met Ling Luo once, his conversation with him revealed that this person had very sound ideas.

Secondly, the fact that he could casually give such a good song to Gu Yang without mentioning money at all shows that he's not a penniless person.

How could someone like that possibly want to be bound by a company?

"Cooperation?" Manager Wu was surprised that Agent Li would say that.

"Yes," Agent Li explained her analysis to Manager Wu. Even though she phrased it in a roundabout way, Manager Wu understood.

Three words: Money is no object!

It's indeed difficult to sign such people unless they're extremely enthusiastic.

"I'll apply to the higher-ups."

After saying that, Manager Wu hung up the phone and walked towards the general manager's office.

As Li's agent looked at the phone that had just been hung up, a smug expression curled at the corner of her lips.

Once Ling Luo signs the contract, she becomes a company employee, and they can use her however they want.

Therefore, Ling Luo's refusal to sign the contract is the only way to secure the greatest benefit for Gu Yang.

Meanwhile, in City S, at LeRan Entertainment.

The atmosphere in General Manager Hou Yonghua's office was terribly oppressive. He slammed a document about Gu Yang onto the table; the computer screen was frozen on Gu Yang's astonishing number of votes.

"I don't care that Gu Yang is a person from Xingchen! I just want to know, why can't I find any information about this person named Luomu?"

The assistant answered nervously, "Mr. Hou, we checked with all the known musicians in the industry, and we also asked people at three other companies, but we couldn't find this person... He... he just appeared out of nowhere."

"Appeared out of nowhere?" Hou Yonghua sneered, his eyes sharp as knives. "Then what are you all doing? Are you just waiting for him to be signed by Starlight Entertainment, then write a few songs to crush us?"

"Go find him right now! Dig three feet into the ground, find him if you must!"

"Yes, yes, I'll get on it right away!"

The same scene also played out at Guanghe Entertainment and Yingchen Entertainment.
